Harrier - expensive - binned
Tornado - more expensive - not binned.

Not sure of the logic for the SDSR saving as much as possible.

But a nice quote to end this short post:

Air Marshall Trenchard to the first course of the RAF Staff College (1922):

‘Your pilots may fly in better formation than anyone else’s pilots. Ask yourself are you running them at a less cost than anybody else?’
